From: Cessna 150 Left seat
I got 3000 TT, 12 hours of Multi, CFII, a 4 yr degree.
Can anyone at Cape comment at my chances? Also, if I have a shot, which do I apply for FO or Captain?
What is current salary scale for pilot at Cape?
Why is Cape called 9K?
Thanks!

2. Do you or do you not have ATP minimums
3. First year captains start at $15.24 per duty hour with a 40 hour/week guarantee
4. 9K is Cape's IATA code; every airline has one.
Good luck!

FO runs depend on where you are based, up until recently the FOs were for the most part based in the hubs (HYA, BOS) and would be scheduled to fly on any number of routes, depending on passenger load. There are times when FOs are still required (inop autopilot in IFR, new CAs, etc) and we recently hired a substantial number of SICs who will be based in the outstations with the CAs so there is plenty of opportunity to log some time which can absolutely be logged; to put it simply it is a 2 crew operation, however we can substitute the FO with an autopilot which we routinely do.

I am looking at their FO spot on C-402. How many FO's do they need & do the FO's get a lot of flying?
Can anyone pls shed some light on the interview process or if anyone has an interview gouge ?

How much you fly as an FO depends a lot on where you're based. Since FO's aren't required on most flights we operate, you'll basically be space available. So if the flight is full, you'll be sitting. If you get based somewhere with high flight loads, you won't fly much. I know some FOs in the midwest region who fly around 20-25 hours a week. So basically, YMMV.

FO's are based in many of the outstations as well as some of the hubs in most regions. That could mean being based anywhere from Mayaguez down in Puerto Rico, to Owensboro, Kentucky, or Boston. FO's have separate bids, so that will determine where you would end up.

1) Do new hire FO's have an option to choose base?
2) If someone wanted to fly the most, what would be a good base which a new hire FO could hold.
3) What does a typical schedule look like??
4) What is the training like fo an FO??
5) Do Cape air pilots have any travel bennies??
Thanks for inputs...

Might be a little old but it's a video I found about training at Cape Air:

According to their pilot jobs page they have jump seat agreements with "most major, regional and cargo carriers."

ps - when has 9K ever had an airplane with that kind of windshield heat @ 1:38?
